"A party?" Tessa repeated before a wide smile came on her face, "oh my god, Adaline you going to go to a party!" 

"Not really madam," the Butler, Javis intervened, "young mistress can only go if master allows it." 

Tessa\'s for head priest at the words of the butler. "Yes but she is also my niece. I have more rights than your master does." 

Javis\'s lips thinned. It was obvious that he did not agree with what her aunt was saying. 

"That is okay," Adaline intervenes quickly, "it\'s fine if I asked the permission of you both Auntie Tess."

Tessa nodded then but that was far from what was on her mind. 

She looked away and out of the window that was in a lens room. Slowly she stood up and walked to look out onto the empty road. How was it that when adaline was her family member the so-called mate got every right on her more than she did? 

It did not sit well with her that Korr got more rights than she did. It was her neice. 

"Hey," Tessa jumped when she felt something on her elbow. Looking around she found adaline holding her elbow with the concerned expression on her face. 

"Everything okay?" She aksed Tessa who nodded. 

"Adelen why don\'t you go down for dinner. I\'ll be down in 10 minutes or so." She smiled as she saw Adeline nod and do as told. 

Tessa moved behind adaline and closed the door before moving to the office of Korr. 

She raised her hand to knock, "come in." She heard and hissed. 

Of course he had to know when she was coming. Apparently he could hear footsteps throughout the house and his nose could pickup her cent of millions of people! 

She opened the door and closed it behind her before popping down in the couch. 

"Good evening?" He titled his her as she greeted her like she was supposed to do as she entered his office. 

She nodded. "Why is it that your Butler does not take my decisions on adaline but yours?" 

He sighed and resumed his work as he answered her, "because adaline is my word in this world. If you ever get to go back to yours then you can make decisions for her." 

She raged at the words. "But I can\'t go back to mine!" And he knew that. 

"Exactly," pointed his pen at her once making sure that she hit the Bingo point, "now that you know your own answer perhaps you want to move ahead?" 

"No, I don\'t!" She barked out. "I have one family member who is alive in this world and that is Adaline. You cannot possibly take her away from me." 

"For the last time Tessa I am not taking her away from you. I am merely protecting her from what you cannot." 

She smiled, "Protecting her from what? From your kind?" 

He narrowed his eyes slightly and a flash of Amber came in quickly just as it went away. "Tessa, doesn\'t show world have a system of selling humans, of prostituting them or making them slaves?" 

Her cheeks reddened. But she did not back down and glared back at him. 

"Alright you know what," he leaned back into his chair and folded his arms in front of his chest as he stared at her glaring eyes, "if you want write an article in the new give me something in return." 

She narrowed her eyes and her mouth to stand as if eaten raw lime, "you—"

"Don\'t test me because it could get a lot worse than it might sound like you." He raised a finger in spoke in a warning tone. 

What was it that he could possibly want from her? She was already inside his house and could not leave because if anyone knew her than they would surely bring her back here. 

She raised her chin a bit into the air as she asked him, "what do you want from me?" 

Korr stood up but his eyes did not leave her. Teresa watch as he came closer to her and leaned over the table right beside her.

"I want you to give us an honest chance. I know for a fact that it is difficult for you but remember this you have nowhere else to go."

She scoffed, "Is that what happens with every girl here? You first bring her from her world forcefully then tell her and make her accept the reality that is never going back and then you ask for an honest chance." 

His amused expressions pulled back. It only told her one thing that he was guilty enough. That was exactly what happened. 

"In my defence," he spoke up, "your world is already corrupted at its roots and it\'s not long before everything collapses. Here, you are going to live a life that is peaceful and if you want to find something that you want to do, you can. I have no problem with any of it, Tessa."

"A peaceful life?" She repeated in a clear tone that let everyone know it was mocking his own words. Did he really expect her to appreciate the chance given to her that she never wanted? 

He tried again, "let me tell you this way. If the God has chosen you to be the maid of one of her children then there is a reason for it. If you give this life by chance you are going to be satisfied by it." He booped her nose. "Contentment is not something that a person experience\'ss daily. It is a luxury." 

She shook her head slowly. "I am fine with having my necessity met. Luxury are not necessarites." 

He flashed her with smile and she could see the wheels inside is head churning. "Yes, it is." He moved to the seat behind his desk and opened a draw. She heard the clanking of metal and half year widened when he pulled out and showed her a pair of handcuffs. 

"Perhaps you would reconsider if I take away the necessity of movement?" He sweetly added.
